Pink Elephant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Food is average. Nothing to really write about. BUT I do have a gripe about Thai restaurants in general. That gripe is how stingy they are with servings. With the exception of the BEST THAI restaurant in LA which is PALM THAI in Hollywood, most dishes you get at Thai restaurants skimp on the meats added.

We got takeout having read all of the good reviews- ordered a Pra Ram, Pad See Ew, Red Curry, and Spicy Eggplant. These are our favorite Thai staples, and we’ve eaten at plenty of Thai restaurants in the Valley and in Thailand. So we knew what to expect from this cuisine. Pink Elephant was something else.
